Goshen: Lessons from the River: Writings, Watercolors, Drawings, Sculpture by Jack and Judy Witt
About the book
The first in a series of works by Jack and Judy Witt, Goshen: Lessons From the River celebrates the natural beauty of Goshen Pass, along Virginia’s Maury River, and the powerful spiritual influence which this place has had upon their art and their lives. Through spectacular, full-color images of sculptures, drawings, and watercolor paintings, accompanied by passionate prose and poetry, the Witts share the enormous inspiration they find in Goshen Pass. In the process, they reveal the story of their personal growth, as well as the inner struggles, losses, joys and transcendent discoveries they have experienced through the benevolent guidance of this region's exquisite beauty.
